A wrist-worn health monitoring terminal is developed to realize body's multi-parameter measurement by including a common mobile phone. The common mobile phone wireless connected to the health monitoring terminal is included to be the memory and the displayer. Also the mobile phone acts as the wireless module to communicate with the health service centre. The physiological parameters includes body temperature, pulse rate, breath rate and waveform, blood pressure, electrocardiograph (ECG), electroencephalogram(EEG) and the level of blood glucose real-timely. This terminal is designed by modules, which includes intelligent processing module based on MSP430, electrodes for collecting the physiological signals and electric circuit module for signal preprocessing, wireless data transmission module based on Bluetooth. The terminal is able to analyze the above signal. The terminals can be formed as a network based on wireless transmission. The common mobile phone can store, display and transmit the data received from the terminal by Bluetooth. Credible and portable terminal for life indication is realized by developing micro-sensor and integrated modules for signal detecting and processing. Amounts of clinic tests have been done and the results have been approved by the doctors in hospitals and patients.
